Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to Fort McHenry with my folks. Neither I nor my parents had been there, and Gary had been there a long time ago. My mom wasn't up to much walking, so we found a bench in a shaded area where she could sit while the rest of us walked around the fort.

Later we're meeting Gary's dad and stepmom for dinner.

I slept in basically til 1 today (thanks, headache!) and then went for Indian takeout. I can now cross goat off the list of things I have eaten.

Also, off the list of things I want to eat again.

Zenkitty, I had a smoke alarm do that - at one in the morning the night before I had to leave early on a trip. I ended up just taking the battery out and letting the dratted thing sit for the length of the trip. When I finally replaced the battery, it worked correctly.

Zen that sounds awful and obnoxious. Dang.

I went to a "chi running" clinic this morning--turned out there was only one other person signed up, so it was practically a private lesson (interestingly the other person was someone who is from here but is a high school teacher in Istanbul! I thought of Fay). It's supposed to make running easier/more efficient, but now there's so many things I'm supposed to be thinking about that it feels harder! Supposedly it will eventually help, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a book on that. The little bit I've tried to apply, yeah, it seems harder, but it also seems to make sense that if I can stick with it and get used to it I will be better off than of I keep doing what I'm doing. That is more or less on hold until after my triathlon, though, as I am all focused on getting through that swimming leg okay.

I feel the same about stroke training that I have seen. I know it would be helpful to fix my stroke, but it seems like so much work.

zen, sorry about the annoying smoke detector.

I hope you have managed to stop the beeping, Zen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Gutted the smoke alarm. Will deal later. Busy day outdoors. It's cooler but not cool enough for me! Dinner was crab cakes at a new local diner, and they are not sitting well. Bed early, I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is the only thing I ever think about when beeping smoke alarms come up:
